Craig you are having Meing kham with herbs such as lemongrass, crispy shallots/garlic, crispy chili, roasted peanut wrapped in green leafs with sweet and savory rice crispy paste. It's the best snack bite you can find.
That sale guy stall you went , he is making pizza crust. Passion fruit are secretly good for weaponry man. Feeding a homeless person is good. In case is local voluntary group rescue needs. You make me mouth watering in the morning. You deserve a big thumb.
One of my favorite videos from you!! Loved watching you try all these delicious (and crazy cheap) treats!! Would love to see more videos like this one. Wish you could stay in Laos. Take care!!
Hahaha the reactions to some of the foods was funny especially the passion fruit, like downing some hard liquor. I hope we can do a weeks trip to Luang Prabang next year as part of our first return to our Isaan family in 3 years, maybe we will try the new train trip there.
I remember a khao piak lady at the end of the market. She has a corner stall. The absolutely best khao piak I’ve ever had in my life! I eat at her table 6 times. I think about her always. I wonder if she’s still there. 🤔
Omg! I wanted some of that sticky rice popsicle that u wanted to call it!! We cannot wait until Covid is over with! So we can go back to visit Laos again! Keep up the good work!
Graig, you are very respectful and considerate. I'm sure it's hard trying to communicate with the Lao people and you do your best. I'm sad to see you go.
Watching you eat those wrapsnacks made me think of the time when I was there 4 years ago. I miss eating these delicious snacks. The paste like substance is made from dried sticky rice grounded up and mixed with salt. The roti is actually a popular snack from India. Very tasty. 😊😊 but very cheap!!!
It amazes me how they have so much confidence in the egg that they just break it straight on the pancake. I've never been able to not think it's wiser to break it in another plate just to make sure it's not spoiled
@@Craig_Black I'm probably the only one who's been so unlucky to have at least one bad egg in each crete I've bought in Thailand, Cambodia and/or Lao. Perhaps I'm just not good at telling bad eggs from the outside. I still need to learn this skill. Great video BTW
Loving your videos mate. Have you got any videos on how/why you started travelling and how you sustain it financially? How long have you been travelling and how do you find travelling alone? Thanks!
You should have eaten KANOM KROK one at a time, you know, open face, blow off the heat, then eat, in order NOT to burn your mouth. One of my favourite childhood snack. I like the crispy part, and the soft pudding-like the middle. Yummy!
Try papaya salad with wild ripen olive if you are in Isaan region since you are in Thailand now, it will give you the Umami flavor as well, and when you drink water afterward, the water will taste sweet in your mouth.
I really feel lucky 😊 it’s not been the easiest thing to just stay in a foreign country during the pandemic. It’s been scary, confusing and intimidating but I love this place so much.
I usually ate that Roti in my country Thailand and my next holiday in Thailand I will go for that. I saw many things you showed us about food or fruits on this TH-cam same as in Thailand and I have only been to Vientiane เวียงจันทน์.
Man, I was just there in 18, and I'll tell you what?....I didn't get to do half the Shhhhhhhhhtz you did! My wife and kids had a blast though. Craig, try the Southern part of Laos.
@@Craig_Black- Can't argue with that. We were in Paksong for a few days. My wife's from the Wat Phu area so I get to travel the Southern parts a lot. I'm hoping to hit the upper north parts of Laos on our next trip. I've traveled to many countries, but Laos seems to be the most comforting for me. I'm more relaxed when I'm there. Heck, I was in Thailand for no more than 22 hours and I was just aching to escape. Same thing with Hong Kong and Singapore. Beautiful, but just not my type. I'm the boondocks kind of dude. I've had enough of the modern life's daily grind. Hope you're trips are always fun and safe.
You made me craving for all sour fruits with spicy chilli dips 😋yummy. Thought you are leaving Laos soon? When are you leaving? Hope you have a wonderful travels to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰👍☺️
This sour passion fruit sequence... so funny... awesome 🤣 👌 My favourite fruit! Will miss your vlogs from Laos. So sad you are leaving. Peace from Malaysia ✌
@@Craig_Black Mee and Sen can both mean noodles but it's hard to explain. You can hear her say, "Sen pho (pho noodles)" and "Sen kow poon (vermicelli noodles used in kow poon soup)". So if you stir fry the Sen pho, it's then called cua mee or stir fried noodles. She also said, "seem boh?" When you were asking about the crispy rice. Which means, "do you want to taste it?"
It was many reasons really, we went there for two weeks and ended up there for two years and it became impossible to travel Laos. Our goal was to outlast the global travel ban, we didn’t know if it was possible but very fortunately it was. We’ll be back though for sure.
Most people don’t use gloves here. I’ve kinda just forgotten about it. I don’t think I’ve gotten sick from food in Laos but I certainly have in Thailand. Maybe I’ve just got lucky
@@Craig_Black yes true, its a lot to think about. When do you think you'll get around to cutting your hair? You want to look like a man right? too many effeminate looking 'men' out there already.
@@danielwilliam4306 brother I don’t need to prove my masculinity to strangers with my appearance. I guess I’m just not insecure like some people with little balls. I’m really comfortable with who I am. Feels really cool tbh

You are eating my favorite snack/dessert aka roti!
Craig you are having Meing kham with herbs such as lemongrass, crispy shallots/garlic, crispy chili, roasted peanut wrapped in green leafs with sweet and savory rice crispy paste. It's the best snack bite you can find.
So yummy foods…Craig please stay in Laos and continue videos so we can continue to watch you enjoy all those yummy foods and places in Laos….
That sale guy stall you went , he is making pizza crust. Passion fruit are secretly good for weaponry man. Feeding a homeless person is good. In case is local voluntary group rescue needs. You make me mouth watering in the morning. You deserve a big thumb.
I am cambodia..I watch your videos..make me feel one day go to Laos
One of my favorite videos from you!! Loved watching you try all these delicious (and crazy cheap) treats!! Would love to see more videos like this one. Wish you could stay in Laos. Take care!!
Might have to run to the bathroom after that mango!!! Lol
The paste is roasted eggplant base with garlic and chili. There are variations on that wrap, depending on the region of the country.
Craig great vlog again, how you will miss that place. Really do enjoy your posts and will miss them when you leave, best wishes to you both.
Bo kin Sen (send)=don't eat noodle
Bo kin Sean= don't eat meat
The woman selling noodle was confused 😀
“If electricity was a flavour this would be it”..........that has to be the best description of a food I have ever heard. 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Haha
I had those coconut pancakes from the night market there. So good!
I love how funny your face looks when you eat something very sour! Lol “if electricity was a flavor” WTH Lol 😂
I told you I would check it out haha. Also nice shirt!
Coconut pancake! my favorite too☺️
Your Lao language is getting good! - kin kin kin!
Thank you Nick 😊

We can see a vendor selling roti almost everywhere but I've never seen Miang (tidbits wrapped in leaves) like this in my place before.
They are healthy foods in Laos and called “Mieng”.
It amazes me how they have so much confidence in the egg that they just break it straight on the pancake. I've never been able to not think it's wiser to break it in another plate just to make sure it's not spoiled
Never thought about this until now.. Good point

Yes ,Craig, you are quite right: street food in sceneric Laos is marvelous: that's one of the genius ingredient of Meuang Lao.
Lakone deu.

Good job with the Lao speaking skills 😎
If you like fruits. You are in heaven.
Great Video! Enjoyed this one. 🙏🏼🇱🇦🙏🏼
I keep watching this video because of the roti and kanom krok. 😂🙏🏼🇱🇦🙏🏼

You can see like that in tea shop and also street food in Myanmar
Those noodle wraps are my favorite.
You are so lucky 🍀 to be there and eating all those foods, you can’t find them anywhere else! Enjoy 😊…
I really feel lucky 😊 it’s not been the easiest thing to just stay in a foreign country during the pandemic. It’s been scary, confusing and intimidating but I love this place so much.
Laos peoples eating sour fruit with spicy seasoning, most European think we eat the horrible things, most food are less cholesterol
I love it 🤤 sep lai
🙏👍👍👍👍 Sabaidee!
the coconut pancake is the best.
I love ‘em 😊
People in Laos call miang come and also call food wrapped in leaves.
And breakfast was on the bank of the Mekong where there was a translation problem over how long to boil eggs for!😂
Watch out Mark Wiens! Love your taste descriptions .
Mieng (spring rolls you called) is so good!!!
Wow..with your Street food in loas, it make me happy and my mouth watering much and much more.... HUNGARY.....🤤🤤🤤🤤
I usually ate that Roti in my country Thailand and my next holiday in Thailand I will go for that. I saw many things you showed us about food or fruits on this TH-cam same as in Thailand and I have only been to Vientiane เวียงจันทน์.
That looks delicious 😋😋😋!
So cheap eating in Laos, enjoy them
Wow. You speak lao language so well.
0:55 in Malaysia, it's call Roti Canai and with egg? it's Roti Telur
Man, I was just there in 18, and I'll tell you what?....I didn't get to do half the Shhhhhhhhhtz you did! My wife and kids had a blast though. Craig, try the Southern part of Laos.
I lived in paksong for 6 months and in din det for 3. The south is beautiful 😊 it’s hotter too

Thank you and welcome to the channel! 😊

Coconut panke i eat evething morning
😋👍
You are not prejudice against other people’s food. So I highly recommend you do like food blogs.
Thank you, I’ll do some more 😊
Lost in translation lol. The noodle lady was saying Sen (noodles) and you were saying Seen (meat). She was saying Sen Mudt = "it's all noodles." Lol
Hahaha! She must have been so confused lol I know I was. I though the word for noodles was “me”
She said ‘mee’ it mean noodle as well
No meat
@@Craig_Black Mee and Sen can both mean noodles but it's hard to explain. You can hear her say, "Sen pho (pho noodles)" and "Sen kow poon (vermicelli noodles used in kow poon soup)". So if you stir fry the Sen pho, it's then called cua mee or stir fried noodles.
She also said, "seem boh?" When you were asking about the crispy rice. Which means, "do you want to taste it?"
@@chadd9748 you explained it perfectly, it can be confusing to a foreigner lol
Sen = Strings. Mee, Pho, and Kow poon are in the same group "Strings or Sen". You can call Sen Mee, Sen Pho, and Sen Kow poon.
Mexico eats fruit the same..chili and salt

Why did you leave Laos? Was it just a change or end of unlimited extensions?
It was many reasons really, we went there for two weeks and ended up there for two years and it became impossible to travel Laos. Our goal was to outlast the global travel ban, we didn’t know if it was possible but very fortunately it was.
We’ll be back though for sure.
Call fried roti with egg.
I don't think the guy in the motor bike food cart washes his hands, be careful what you eat.
♥️🇱🇦
What does your shirt say?
sabaidii (welcome) luang prabang
I think it says Luang Prabang but I’m not exactly sure.
It says Sabaidee Luang prabang = Hello Luang prabang.
I sure does. I have the same shirt, but in a pink color. 😂
thank you or koff der der for the video; in a gay way, I love these randomness video!
🤣
It's simply a Breton pancake
😄😂
That paste is mash up eggplant 🍆
Sabai Dee Craig..you speak Lao very well.. Loungprabang is my mom’s hometown..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸from California USA
Ah... no good my friend. No glove. Did he ever wash his hands? Easy to get sick.
Most people don’t use gloves here. I’ve kinda just forgotten about it. I don’t think I’ve gotten sick from food in Laos but I certainly have in Thailand. Maybe I’ve just got lucky
Bloody covid. 😂😂😂
no need for the commentary, its charcoal not coal

That rice stick is fish sauce brother fish sauce mix with egg and padek..actually is padek and egg u finally eat padek but did not know it..
